I have never been truly dumpster diving, though I think about it often. I am kind of wimpy when it comes to the law, and I'm always afraid someone will call the police if I were to attempt such a feat. But I am all about taking things from the side of the road that were destined for the dump anyway.

We often raid the dumpsters behind art and framing stores to reuse the mat board and Styrofoam for shipping materials for my antique business on ebay. I get chicken and tomato boxes from Mexican restaurants to store and transfer items to swap meets and flea markets, no plastic bins here.<br /> <br />Where i live there are usually day laborers with trucks and on the last big pick up day I saw one guy going around picking up electronics and appliances. He was going to fix them up and resell. <br /><br />It is nice now with freecycle and craigs list people are reducing and reusing more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773804526237644951.post-20671485172909743692010-11-20T11:30:01.444-08:002010-11-20T11:30:01.444-08:00Wow Carrie, those are fantastic finds!

Wish we had that around here, but we don't have a trash service.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.com
